This proposed project intends to address challenges identified by and realize the full potential of two earlier SEPA-funded projects: a project completed in 2012, Education for Community Genomic Awareness (Grant Code: R25RR022703); and our currently project (2014- 2019), A New Genomic Framework for Schools and Communities (Grant Code: 8 R25 GM129186-05). These projects focused on addressing the critical need for modern genomics curriculum for middle and high school students by connecting classroom instruction with the community to give both students and community members opportunities to understand, explain and apply ideas about health-related phenomena to their lives tied to gene-environment interactions, natural selection, and evolution. The implementation of these projects has produced evidence of success in student learning and interest, it has also produced three challenges to the realization of their full potential: 1) Aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, these units are vastly different than those teachers are familiar with and making community connections are also difficult to orchestrate; 2) The potential for maintaining and enhancing student engagement was limited by short periods during the school year and lack of continuity from year to year; 3) The extent of support provided by the project to schools suggests the need to develop a model for sustained support from internal sources once the grant period is over. This research educational program plan outlines a novel design for science education that combines three components: 1) high quality curriculum materials, 2) innovative professional learning, and 3) a community health/science education consortium. These components work together to support and sustain genomic and environmental health learning and inspire interest in careers for underrepresented middle and high school students both in and out of school. The result will be a new, innovative, sustainable educational program with the following characteristics: 1) “Health in Our Hands”, a coherent set of curricula for secondary grades that maximizes deepening of student understanding; 2) A “Community of Practice” linking teachers with informal educators, learning new teaching practices, making seamless connections between the classroom and community, and enabling students to apply what they have learned to real-world health issues; 3) “Greater Flint Health in Our Hands” consortium of health-related organizations, providing the mentors and the community-based activities, and support for future growth of the learning program after the expiration of this grant.

本拟议项目旨在应对《行动纲领》确定的挑战， 2012年完成的一个项目， 社区基因组意识（资助代码：R25 RR 022703）;和我们目前的项目（2014- 2019），学校和社区的新基因组框架（补助金代码：8 R25 GM 129186 -05）。这些项目的重点是满足现代基因组学的迫切需要 通过将课堂教学与 社区让学生和社区成员有机会了解，解释， 并将与健康相关的现象应用到与基因环境相关的生活中， 相互作用，自然选择和进化。 这些项目的实施已经为学生带来了成功的证据 学习和兴趣，它也产生了三个挑战，以实现他们的充分 潜力：1）与下一代科学标准保持一致，这些单位 与那些教师熟悉的不同，建立社区联系也 难以协调; 2）保持和提高学生参与度的潜力是 受学年期间时间短和缺乏年复一年连续性的限制; 3） 该项目为学校提供的支持程度表明，有必要制定一个模式， 一旦赠款期结束，内部来源的持续支持。 本研究教育计画计画为科学教育勾勒出一个新颖的设计 结合三个组成部分：1）高质量的课程材料，2）创新的专业 学习，以及3）社区健康/科学教育联盟。这些组件工作 共同支持和维持基因组和环境健康学习，并激发兴趣 在职业生涯中为代表性不足的初中和高中学生无论是在学校内外。的 其结果将是一个新的，创新的，可持续的教育计划与以下 特点：1）“健康掌握在我们手中”，这是一套连贯的中学课程， 最大限度地加深学生的理解; 2）联系教师的“实践社区” 与非正式的教育工作者，学习新的教学实践， 在课堂和社区之间，使学生能够应用他们所学的知识， 现实世界的健康问题; 3）“更大的弗林特健康在我们手中”健康相关的联盟 组织，提供导师和社区活动，并支持未来的 学习计划的增长后，这个补助金到期。
